- This video examines how Hinduism has a very different interpretation of the word 'Truth' compared to other religions. It demonstrates the sharp contrast between 'Eternal Truth' and 'Dynamic Truth'. #Hinduism

Although it’s a nice discussion, your explanation of the Salvation is incorrect
God being Spirit is life and breathed His Spirit into man to make him a living soul, when Adam walked away from God .God’s Spirit severed from man and thus end up in mortality and eternal separation. Being cut off from Life, man get our life from the food we eat and manipulation ou of the breath to extend life
Religion tells us that we can exit this mortality by our good works, but it doesn’t, as it takes Life to destroy death .
That’s why Jesus, Life Himself came to destroy our mortality ,breathe His Spirit to regenerates our Spirit which will give us eternal life
People before Abraham were given the promise of the Seed of the Woman for redemption right at he fall. God tells us that the Lamb was slain (atonement ) was provided for before the foundations of the earth.
In short God being Truth Himself is eternal .and we are called to Seek Him.
@@seekthetruthandthetruthwil2388 Bro he's hindu not chirstian. He legit explains why he is hindu in this channel. So pls say something he hasn't already found is wrong or loopholed.
@Rekha Kasana Yes, and not one who believes in science. Pretty sure he thinks god is the only way.
@@thesrilankanguy3652 yes. So his explanation of salvation is wrong. Hence. I explained. He should know the biblical salvation if he seeks to explain it.
@Rekha Kasana I will never force my opinion on anyone. I just explained what salvation according to the Bible is, which the esteemed speaker misconstrued
This is the most well narrated channel on UA-cam about sanatan dharma, keep up the good work.
If you disbelief this then you disbelief sanatan Dharma
The Brahma Sutra of Hinduism is: "Ekam Brahm, dvitiya naste neh na naste kinchan" (Sanskrit transliteration) "There is only one God, not the second; not at all, not at all, not in the least bit." "Na tasya pratima asti" "There is no likeness of Him." [Svetasvatara Upanishad 4:19]...
The following verses from the Yajurveda echo a similar concept of God:
"na tasya pratima asti" ("There is no image of Him.") [Yajurveda 32:3]
"shudhama poapvidham" ("He is bodyless and pure.") [Yajurveda 40:8]
"Andhatama pravishanti ye asambhuti mupaste" ("They enter darkness, those who worship the natural elements" {Air, Water, Fire, etc.}). "They sink deeper in darkness, those who worship sambhuti.") [Yajurveda 40:9]
Sambhuti means created things, for example table, chair, idol, etc....
I feel rather I'm sure that I'm the divine but even my fellow hindus do not aceept.
Bro there are more ch about it
My eyes become teary when I watch your content. I am almost 100% sure Sri Rama is working through you to make all these wonderful videos.
@Instagram Meme what will shri rama do with money
@Instagram Meme ask Lord Ram himself after u live this human body 😊 anyway life is too short it will be over in blink of an eye
What made you feel like that!!!!!
You are insane
@@vincegp5896 what ?
In a traditional Hindu family, all five members can worship and follow rituals of their personal gods or deities. Father can worship Shiva as supreme, son can worship Krishna as Supreme. No only that family members can worship different forms of same deity as supreme. One might consider Rama as supreme other will worship Vishnu. 🎉 *That's beauty of Sanatan Dharma.*
Or one of them could be an atheist. No problem.
@Dharma DefenderI am actually an advaitin. So for me all forms of god are brahman. You and I are also that. Tat tvam asi.
@Dharma Defender I do not agree. Adi Shankara was an advaitin and his teachings are directly from the vedas. There is nothing in the vedas about Krishna because Krishna came a lot lot later as an avatar. He only told a summarized version of the vedic teachings in bhagavad gita. So vedas cannot have mentioned Krishna. Chronologically it is not correct.
@Dharma Defender you have said nothing to change my opinions. I am an advaitin and a shaivite and adi Shankara is my greatest guru... I only believe in monism which means everything is divine including atheism. If being an atheist makes me lesser human then that is dwaita philosophy and I do not subscribe to dwaita philosophies. Om tat sat.
@Dharma Defender you are talking like a Muslim. This is the problem with monotheistic philosophies. They cannot accept that divinity is within oneself. Tat tvam asi, prajnanam brahma, aham brahmasmi are all mahavakyas from the different vedas and they all say divinity is within us and we have to experience it which will happen when we find our real self and attain samadhi. So even if I think I am god I also think you are god and everything and everyone is god. So all are one and the same. Thathastu
I miss Dharma Speak's voice. It's so unique and lecture worthy voice
Why are you guys not on social medias?
We wanna contact you somewhere. You guys are doing the best job. I never came across such clear and rational concepts on internet.
@Dharma Defender we can work together if you need a team😅 share your social media.
@Dharma Defender don't get me wrong. But you don't have any videos. And not even a email.
He is in Facebook. You can see on earlier videos's description.
@Dharma Defender Onion and garlic is not good for spiritual life
@U . F . O Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu has already explained this. CC Ādi 17.160

Synonyms
jiyāite - to rejuvenate; pāre - one is able; yadi - if; tabe - then; māre - can kill; prāṇī - living being; veda-purāṇe - in the Vedas and Purāṇas; āche - there are; hena - such; ājñā-vāṇī - orders and injunctions.
Translation
“In the Vedas and Purāṇas there are injunctions declaring that if one can revive a living being, one can kill it for experimental purposes.
believers and knowers... glad you're a knower. may you be successful on your journey.
Unless one believes , one cannot begin seeking.
@@seekthetruthandthetruthwil2388 Yes but it does not mean we should not validate what we found is truth or not... We have to first search or seek or find truth in a place "hoping" or "believing" that truth will be there and then logically, experimentally and experientially we have to validate it. Monotheism (followed by Abrahamic religions) says that the divine is only transcendent or up their in the sky. It cannot be validated. it led to blind belief in a book, needless prophets/middlemen, angels, fantasy stories, non existent heaven/hell and half baked responsibilities due to lack of understanding of dharma (balance of natural law), law of karma and reincarnation.
@@Dharmicaction wrong. God Being Life giving Spirit in-dwelt Adam and Eve. But when they walked away from Him, His Spirit severed from mankind resulting in selfish Mortality and eternal
Separation. Man has been trying with his good works to perfect society and exit death, but has failed because it needs Life to indwell man to destroy death. Jesus Life Himself,Came
To indwell us though the Spirit so He can return us back to immortality
In short even though the Biblical God is Infinite, He desires to dwell in man through His Spirit , thereby making man the Most Holy Place for the Most High to dwell in.
Being believer is not bad.
You are doing a great job
Your videos are big help to me while dealing with muslims on internet. Keep doing good work. Let the Dharma prevail🚩
Same here lol
It is not for dealing with anyone. If you use it for that. Than it s purpose is only limited to mocking other religions.
@@KiranSingh-zr8jr Nope. It's not to mock other religions. It's to explain them why we do whatever we do.
@@KiranSingh-zr8jr we don't mock'em, we defend!
Same here hahaha.
Fantastic explanation. The speaker has a Deep understanding of the major religions in the world. Proud to be a hindu
Best channel out there. Thank you for all you do 🙏🏼
I'm an atheist. But I admire Hindus' general lack of dogma. I like that the religion isn't obsessed with keeping itself together and preventing offshoots. It seems to have enough faith in itself to allow internal diversity, since all of it is gonna boil down to similar teachings at the end of the day.
the vastness of the "religion" is what allows for contradictions within itself, making it so it isn't refuting the "religion" in any way.
Every video coming from this channel is a gem... Keep up the good work sahodara.
Jai shree krishna...
so excited for this one :) please continue with your amazing & informational content
Yogi ji future Prime minister 🔥🚩💪
BJP will collapse after Modi-Shah. Yogi is a plain bigot.
🔥🚩
No.
Nah, I want a great kshatriya Maharaja to come and rule us.
I hate democracy, people should not be given the power to vote.
All these politicians can get naked and do belly dance if they will get votes for it.
I am not very knowledgeable but wid like to state that the core of sanatan dhrm is beautiful, pure.. Plz Hindu brothers and sisters get yourself down to work to impart this knowledge.. Unfortunately some our sikhs too are not aware about core concept of sikhism.. 🙏🙏
@sandy Kapse Technical harpreet singh ji even guru nanak saheb ji also accepted vedas as holy books .. Vedas has everything in it . it does not say about any religion it says how to attain moksha and about soul . How to know your self.
As a person who has practiced Catholicism but is now finding truth in Sanatana Dharma, this was amazing and the most well done explanation I have ever heard in my years of searching and learning. Thank you!
This is so helpful! Thank you 🙏🏻
Your explanations about dharma are jem bro! You are phenomenon in real explanation of competitive religions with their core teachings ! I am very proud to be a great sanatan dharma follower !
Great explanation
Greetings from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
It couldn't have been described better.... You are truly a treasure to us sir.... Keep up the great work and spreading our ancient teachings... Dhanyawad 🙏🙏
Amazing work
This is such an incredible topic and you have explained it extraordinarily well on every aspect! Subscribed for life 😊
We were waiting
After watching this, I can now further develop concepts that I have developed after an argument with my parents & brother on difference between Truth & Facts. I also now understand what they meant by Truth that day when the argument happened.
Also now I know what is meant by Eternal Truth as described in Sanatan Dharma, even though I had fair idea about that already.
Now I have to work towards experiencing it.
Many Thanks 🙏🙏🙏🎶🎶🎶🪔🪔🪔
Only God is eternal. So truth if eternal has to be objective , a person.
@@seekthetruthandthetruthwil2388 Didn't get what you meant.
@@EXPLORADVEN if truth is subjective ( based on one’s experience) one can manipulate truth to continue others. That’s why Truth has to be a person, God Himself .
@@seekthetruthandthetruthwil2388 leave it, you wouldn't get it. Even the meaning of the words in different minds is not standardized. And if you see from objective perspective as well, you cannot perceive anything beyond your experience.
So I am not trying to tell anything to you.
@@EXPLORADVEN why I won’t get it, it’s simple. That’s why people in power manipulate truth and continue others.
Eg. hunger is a need, one can manipulate truth and justify it for stealing food. But if it’s objective, stealing in any form or for any reason is. Sin and must be avoided at all costs
Cant wait for this one
Amazingly explained. This channel is awesome. Glad I came across this.
All religions are truth but Hinduism explains the truth in religion better than any other religion does.
Very well explained! Thank you.
Simple and well presented. Thank you.
Very well narrated! Keep creating these videos and keep sharing the timeless knowledge 🙏
Best channel on Sanatana religion I have come across so far..God bless you
The destination is what’s important not the route you take to get there.
Can you name which destination.
Or do you accept other paths for that destination
Interesting. Isn't "experience" the journey and not the destination, which will be attained at some point? I'd like to hear different perspectives. Thank you.
So long as the route does not end up in a wrong destination!
@@pb8857 wouldn't one try another route till the final "satisfactory" destination is reached?
@@striker44 Any route that takes you to *'your'* destination, but not the wrong one, as I said!
Keep up the good work bruv. May krishna bless you. Jai Shree Ram
Please keep this up...this is an important voice we need to hear.
Nicely explained 👍
You my good sir are Truly a realised individual. 🙏

Thank you for this. From my soul. Thank you.
This is such a brilliant video and a different perspective. Thanks
great video
Cant wait
Wonderful....very accurate and enlightening...
Very well explained. Thankbyou.
Interesting view to clarifying on dynamic vs eternal truth. Experiencing rather than believing.
I've read books from all the major religions, some minor ones, and many are good. None of them are bad. They all have value. But, the more I read the ancient Hindu texts the more I see they are on a whole different playing field. When I had ONLY read the Gita it was easy to say the Bible is just as good, this book or that book is just as good. But, I've been getting into the Upanishads, the Vedas, the Srimad Bhagavatam, and learning the history of different branches, and suddenly I understand so much more of Hinduism. And, suddenly it just is so much bigger than anything else out there. I can find so much in the Upanishads that never get mentioned in the Bible, for example, unless you do some interpretation and digging into translations. Don't need anything interpreted for the Upanishads. Nobody has to explain that the lack of mention actually means something. Its all there. I regret I'm getting older and won't have time to read all the ancient texts.
Fully agree. The level of detail in Vedic teachings is simply mindblowing.
Awesome channel
i love your work..you explain so good...❤️
love from Bangladesh....
Excellent 👍. 👏👏👏
Great man 👍
Wonderful video.
Wonderful, unbiased, realistic comparison of truth in all religion. May the eternal truth and knowledge prevail and quell the darkness and evil faiths..
Great explanation
Good job sir 🙏🙏🙏🙏
The person running this channel "Dharma Speaks" is a really wonderful and knowledgeable person. Would like to meet you in person and know more about you. Bless you always 🙏
Ohh Govinda!! You are doing a great job. Hare Krishna
I am a follower of Krishna! Followers of Sanatana Dharma our great sages have decipherd the Abrahamic believes better then any of them self ever have done!
The eternal truth stands right on top and is where all religion originante from!
Nice video sir
Excellent explanation 🙏
Good one.
Dynamic truth always leads to exclusive claims. Hit the nail right on the head there. The exclusive right to the truth of the abrahamic religions has caused so much damage in human history.
Yeah.
Truth is always exclusive
That’s because mankind has its being in God as Father.
Just like it’s a dishonor for both the father and mother When their child calls the neighborhood man”father” likewise it’s dishonor to our creator when we call our idea of things, people or philosophy “God”
@@ystmat nope I’ll give you an example. You might call a cat a cat for sure in your languaget that is your truth but in another language it is called something completely different like billy . You definitely know that the animal you are looking at is definitely a cat that’s your truth while for someone else calling it something else is their truth. The cat is still the cat but what you are calling it changes based on your language. The inability of the abrahamic religions to understand this is why they turn to conversion through any means possible.
@@TheLYagAmi Thanks for your reply.
Whatever we call it it doesn't change the characteristics of cat and also if you translate the meaning remains same .
Once again one of your best video and will always be, because the work you have put in it in producing the content . My sincere thanks to you from bottom of my heart.
Now I know the TRUTH! Thanks
Love u bro...💟💟💟
There are many ways to reach truth(christianity, hinduism,, budhism, jainism, sikhism, judaism)But truth is one (brahmman)🕉️
Sanatana Dharma 🚩
Villanelle Villa - Krishna did not think about Abrahamic religions when he said Sarva dharma sama bhava. He was talking about different dharmic yoga pathways leading to the same destination like Karma yoga, Sanyasa yoga, Jnana yoga, dhyana yoga, Shraddha (not blind bakthi) etc.
In Hinduism, there are 3 eternal entities (eternal, meaning no beginning and no ending), if you break down the universe viz GOD, SOULS and MATTER. These 3 entities have no beginning and no ending. God is the infinite universal soul who can create the universe from matter, sustain the universe and ultimately dissolve the universe into him. Creation of the universe is from out of his superconsciousness. Dissolution of the universe is back into his superconsciousness.(Think of black holes). One such cosmic cycle takes billions of years and the cycle repeats endlessly. The universe therefore exists from nothingness to nothingness, as what Quantum Mechanics also now tells us. We are individual souls who take on different material bodies according to our actions (deeds) and gradually evolve(through realisation of our intellect and reincarnating into different bodies) spiritually towards merger with the universal soul. Matter is also eternal. Souls have a choice between seeking matter(materialism) which is temporary and seeking merger with God(spiritual salvation), which is permanent bliss. Why does God create the universe? Its his nature and also because of LOVE for the souls to have a medium to experience and ultimately seek and realize him. This is the essence of Hindu philosophy
Very Brilliantly expressed all the critical attributes of all the Major Religions
In a simple + succinct way.
"The universe therefore exists from nothingness to nothingness, as what Quantum Mechanics also now tells us"
How can anybody create matter from nothing? Hindu.vedic metaphysics does not say that. Only Abrahamic religions say that like so called "god" created the world out of thin air like magic.
Without its intelligent energy or Shakthi, Shiva (brahman) is shava (corpse). Without shiva nothing exists or nothing can be perceived in its current form or no duality cycles can happen. So, shiva and shakthi always exist together for the perpetual duality cycles to happen. Even after the dissolution of the universe, shiva (brahman) and Shakthi (prakriti) exist together for the manifestation/concealment duality cycle of the universe to continue.
This is Sankhya vedic metaphysics which combines Advaitha (non dual shiva) and Dvaitha (dual shakthi). Sankhya can be validated by logic, experiment (double slit quantum experiment) and embodied experience (focus + meditation)
I would also refrain from using Abrahamic religion words like "God", "Souls" "Salvation" which are not the same as brahman, athman and moksha,
By the way during reincarnation "athma" does not reincarnate but subtle body does. If athma does then it contradicts Advaitha vedanta's omnipresent Brahman and Athman = Brahman.
SuperConsciousness creates reality and all reality will get dissolved into the SuperConsciousness ultimately. Creation and dissolution is taking place all the time in the universe. New stars are created in supernovas from nothingness. Old stars and galaxies are sucked into nothingness into blackholes. From nothingness to nothingness. Thats visible evidence. Thanks to Science, Quantum Physics and technology.
This is amazing content wow gave me a new perspective are you lot on social media please
Jai Shree Krishna!
It's an amazing explaination... Today first time I watched your videos... You're doing great job... Where are you from...
There is a much greater need for us to study the books of dynamic truth so as to call out on specifics preached by people like zakir naik
May be we should call it dynamic bull
Yes dude that's called poorvapaksha 😉
Very clear and very logic
Jai Shree Krishna 💞💞
@Dharma Defender 🙏🙏
Could you make a video where you talk about yourself? Love your videos! ♥️
Could you make a video on the Hindu Scripture: Vachanamrut. It is a QnA scripture about Philosphy and ask questions like What is Maya or Cause of Anger? or Why is devotion or love in God, not as strong as love for our loved ones? etc.
You can view it through the Vachanamrut Learning App
Good Job
Excellent comparison of theistic concepts of popular religions. The crux is experience by self 👍.
Wonderful voice! 🥰 Is this Guru from UK?
I would love to have names from the speaker you present in your video.
Would you add them in commentary ?
RAM RAM BHAI 🙏🙏
A true Hindu smiles throughout life no need to argue with anyone about anything why just check history it does not lie
Krishna did not ask Arjuna to smile or keep quiet and meditate. He asked him to fight against adharma. In modern times, every dharmic Hindu should not be a mute spectator or simply "smile" . He or she must fight against adharmic Abrahamic religions and people who are into hedonism, greed and gluttony and other violators of dharma
Imagine a scene .... U and naik in a debate .... 😁 What ll be a scene 😝
Share the link
@danish sufi If it's for seeking then I can explain in depth but if it's something else I won't. So why exactly do you want to know?
@danish sufi And that idol statement you used is wrong translation of Zakir. The verse says na tasya pratima asti which means ' there is no likeliness of him,pratima means someone with similar personality like him so the verse explains that noone can be comparable to him"
Here pratima doesn't mean idol but someone like him like mirror image.
To further understand the topic, watch this:- ua-cam.com/video/tW8cSZx6ZpA/v-deo.html
And Vedas also say that Narayana is supreme,so if you agree on Vedas,you should also believe that too.
And Krishna who was complete incarnation of Narayan/Vishnu has said in Bhagavad Gita about that shapeless nirakar Brahman:-
"And I am the basis of the impersonal Brahman, which is the constitutional position of ultimate happiness, and which is immortal, imperishable and eternal." (BG 14.27).
This means Krishna (Narayana) is the very source of that Impersonal and shapeless Brahman.
@danish sufi This is the thing about hinduism/santana dharma.
If you see at first instance without going in depth,you will never be able to understand God. Also,I see you keep sliding between purana and Vedas. You used Vedas so I explained through that. Do you believe in puranas?
Have you heard about osho? He was a staunch atheist even abusing Jesu in western countries saying he was but even he said that if God really exists he can only be Krishna because will God give a shit to your expectation? Will he limit himself according to boundaries set by a mere mortal like you? Understanding Krishna is very hard like understanding God because you all have pre occupied notions about him. Only if you completely free your mind from any pre conceived identity about God then only you can understand him.
Here are some verses said in that regard by Shri Krishna:-
"After many births and deaths, he who is actually in knowledge surrenders unto Me, knowing Me to be the cause of all causes and all that is. Such a great soul is very rare." (BG 7.19)
"Although I am unborn and My transcendental body never deteriorates, and although I am the Lord of all sentient beings, I still appear in every millennium in My original transcendental form."(BG 4.6)"
And One of best:-
"BG 10.2: Neither celestial gods nor the great sages know my origin. I am the source from which the gods and great seers come."
So even if great sages and even celestial Gods Don't know about Krishna,how can you know?
@danish sufi Shiva is the Impersonal aspect of Narayan and Brahman is shapeless whose basis is Krishna.
There are so many gods in hinduism because hinduism is polymorphic monotheistic.
Krishna saved those 16000 women from a demon narakasura and since they were slaves of such a bad person, society wouldn't have accepted them and hence they plead to Krishna for help otherwise they said that they will do suicide. Without asking anything about their past, he accepted them all and gave them the tag of queens. And if you believe this story then it's also elaborated that to not do impartiality to anyone,he himself expanded to 16000 forms and all were present at the same time.
Now since you believe Krishna did this and that,you should accept what other things he did too. He at a child age showed whole universe in his mouth to his mother, brought back dead children of his Guru to life and *only personality* who showed universal form Vishwaroopam which consisted all of his creation. Arjuna was unable to see it even being such a great warrior,so he has to give him divya drishti so how can a mere human much below Arjuna can see him?
Also,if you are here to seek,I will suggest you to go and watch 'Dharma Nation' youtube channel and see one of his videos. All doubts will be cleared though his videos are in english.
Also, one of shloka of Bhagavad Gita:-
Bhagavad Gita 10.42: -"What need is there for all this detailed knowledge, O Arjun? Simply know that by one fraction of my being, I pervade and support this entire creation".
How people can dislike this ?? Whats the problem there ??
Love from Bangladesh ❤️
bro ..how is the situation of Hindus in BD
Hinduvism is not a religion for believers it is great path for seekers 👏👍🙏

Sorry coukdnt join the live but good video tho
wonderful
After watching this video I watched arsha bodha yt on Advaita non dual spirituality and it open my mind
Virat Sanatani🚩
First
Very nice
Divinity lives. Jaigurudev.
I just wanted to say that I have watched a few of your videos and they are very much appreciated. I know this comment won't have anything to do with the video, but I feel the need to say something anonymously. I grew up non denominational protestant, I went to a Church school and was bullied. I was taught things that really weren't Biblical i.e. the understanding we have of the rapture. I have learned recently that the protestant understanding is more so from a "christian" cult of the 1800s and led to the Great Dissapointment. Growing up, I was afraid of doing something wrong. I was and still am still terrified of a break in the clouds. The protestant view of the raputure is a scare tactic. Anyway, back to where I was before. I graduated high school and by that point was agnostic. I didn't know what I believed other than Jesus was the Son of God because again scare tactics, I didn't want to be caught on judgment day. I went through university thinking pleasure would help me be happy, but it didn't and I broke off a relationship that nearly resulted in marriage but was very immature. It wasn't long after that break up that I began going to a Catholic Church down the road, I was mesmirised by the simple beauty. People may not have agreed completly with each other, but there was still the sense of family that I didn't really get from the church I grew up in. I went to this church for a few weeks before they started Lenten devotions and upon the start of Lent I did one on one sessions with the campus minister and about a week before Easter I decided I wanted to be Baptised because by that point I had realised I was ready and that I couldn't get to heaven without being baptized. I rushed into it. I had to wait a year, but I still rushed into the decision. I do that a lot. I needed structure, a family, I was completly lost. My family was completly supportive thanks be to God and I thought I was happy, but i've still been lost and in what my tradition would call 'the spiritual desert'. The priest that baptized me was arrested a year later for misconduct(not with a minor) and that was difficult as I had looked up to him and befriended him. So, that didn't help my spirit and now we have COVID and i've gone without spiritual nourishment for almost a year and the questioning is returning again, am I in the right place. I've recently had a strong push to look into eastern religion, I looked into Buddhism very very briefly but the view of no soul and nothing matters didn't resonate(I realize that's very brief and not very well educated but that's what I saw). I decided to look into Hinduism and i'm seeing things that do make more sense. I think this time though I won't be jumping in right away as I need to do my research and read and get back to my current tradition as we are in a troubling time and maybe jumping ship in such a stressful time isn't the right thing to do. I want to be certian this time and your videos are very helpful at this time. I apologize for writing such a long book, but I felt the need to say something and I don't feel comfortable with talking to family and I feel like it would be a bad idea to talk to the cathlolic community on twitter. Thank you for your time. God bless.
Read Bhagavad Gita,it's a short book and will hardly take more than 2-3 hours for complete reading. It's said by Krishna himself. The little problem with watching youtube videos is that there will be some differences in commentaries of people to explain the same truth,so why not read it from some authentic text?
I can share you the link if you want.
Thanks for your thoughts 🙏🏿
@@LostSoul07797 I've actually found a few people reading or even chanting the Bhagavad Gita on youtube without commentaries. I would love a link, thank you. :)
@@hobbitofthemidwest9613 UA-cam is collapsing my comment whenever I am sharing the link. I don't know why, Maybe you can't share out of UA-cam links anymore.
Go on google,search "Bhagavad Gita Swami Mukundananda." Then below a site will appear written as ' Bhagavad Gita and holy Bhagavad Gita just above as url'. Go on that site and you can read it in english.
@@LostSoul07797 No worries, It's possible youtube has decided to fix one issue to indavertently cause another.
I will go ahead and google that, thanks for the help!
I was actually raised Evangelical/Fundamentalist Christian (though my views have shifted; I am still a Christian but consider it important to explore other beliefs):
I grew up in a theological framework called Dispensationalism, which basically says God acted differently in different periods (or dispensations), and that there is something humanity is to do and a judgment for not doing it.
According to this view, we are in the dispensation of grace (which began around the time of Christ) and everyone is supposed to believe in Jesus as the video describes: the judgment is going through the Tribulation, the worst seven years humanity has seem, which occurs before Jesus returns. (This period is depicted in the Left Behind novels.) Folks who believe this think the reestablishment of Israel in 1948 fulfilled Bible prophecy and thus Jesus will soon return, and this plays a major role in Christian Zionism and Trump’s moving the US embassy to Jerusalem. (Part of the issue is they think that many Jews will be killed during the Tribulation and the rest will accept Jesus. For many Jews, accepting Christianity is going against everything being Jewish stands for [I am not sure why], and thus this view comes off as profoundly antisemitic, something Evangelicals, if they are aware of it, deny.)
The first dispensation was innocence, and Adam and Eve were to avoid eating from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. The judgment was expulsion from the Garden of Eden and the world being a mess until Jesus sets it right.
That is one way Evangelicals try to reconcile seeming contradictions.

Only well validated hindu/vedic metaphysics around which hindu/dharmic tradition was built can answer all the 3 questions correctly with lot of clarity and logic.
Go get em Dharma
